This exhibition highlights exceptional examples of Near Eastern ceramics—many on public display for the first time—generously lent by private collectors and a museum. The collection includes rare works from Persia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, and Egypt during the Islamic period, along with earlier pieces that show the evolution of Mohammedan pottery.

A valuable reference for collectors, historians, and those interested in Islamic art and ceramics.
